Gareth Reynolds On Respect For Standup, Karaoke Nightmares, & Bad Haircuts | Ep 60

·29 min

At the Comedy Club of Kansas City, Dustin opens by saying Gareth Reynolds was one of his favorite people from the moment they met, and Gareth agrees that the connection was instant. They talk about how some guests turn into fast friends, how Dustin has met plenty of comics through the club, and how every now and then you meet someone who is just kind of a prick. The mood stays loose while Gareth tells the story of getting his hair dyed black and being told it was temporary. It did not wash out, and the story turns into a riff about bad advice, 30 washes, and walking around with a look you did not choose. From there the talk folds into beards and facial hair, with Dustin noting he has basically never seen Gareth fully clean-shaven and Gareth saying he has worn beards since he was 18. The conversation then shifts to stand-up presentation, with Gareth pushing back on the idea that comics need to get dressed up for stage. They also drift into the kind of side comments comics make about clips and videos, including Dustin joking about people saying 'you've seen this video' as if that were normal human interaction. Near the end, Gareth plugs GarethReynolds.com, @ReynoldsGareth, Gareth Reynolds TV, We're Here to Help, The Dollop, and his new third podcast Next. The club closes by plugging the Comedy Club of Kansas City, the club in Lawrence, and watching past episodes.
